Optimization of Wire Electric Discharge Machining Process Parameters Using Titanium Alloys –A Review

WEDM is one of the important variants of electrical discharge machining (EDM) which uses the thermal energy generated between the electrodes for machining the electrically conducive materials. This method has been successfully implemented in common materials like aluminum, stainless steel etc., But its application in super alloys like Ti6Al4V is still under investigations. This paper reviews th...

Nickel Titanium and Nickel Titanium Hafnium Shape Memory Alloy thin films

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) coatings of NiTi and NiTiHf have been deposited onto Si substrates using pulse DC sputtering. Coatings of NiTi with compositions containing 45 to 65 at% Ti have been fabricated by co-sputtering NiTi with Ti. NiTiHf coatings with Hf compositions ranging from 2 to 30 at% Hf have been fabricated by co-sputtering NiTi with Hf. XRD results reveal the as-deposited coatings ...

Optimization of machining parameters and wire vibration in wire electrical discharge machining process

Background: Wire Electrical discharge machining (WEDM) has higher capability for cutting complex shapes with high precision for very hard materials without using high cost of cutting tools. During the WEDM process, the wire behaves like a metal string, straightened by two axial pulling forces and deformed laterally by a sum of forces from the discharge process. Major forces acting on the wire c...
